Late in life?????

She has been in power since she showed up as Agent Dana Scully in The X files pilot

She's been brilliant a very long time, even when she was younger. Most of my fellow Americans stopped following her career after X-Files, but her performances in British miniseries like Great Expectations and Bleak House are masterclasses that every aspiring actor should watch.

There is nothing new she has been doing amazing roles for years now

Yes this comment is off. But yes she's getting some great roles now

And a Golden Globe.

I second that

@@ophelias4172 I second that too lol

I'm hoping for multiple awards and at LEAST 5 seasons with Michelle Obama in all of them. Lol as long as Michelle/ Viola is in it then I have a job🤣😂😅 so I MAY be a little biased

I second that as well

She was good as Ruth Madoff.

She's great actress 👍

@@johnnysmith9155 watch a movie called French exit. She's great in it

She was so great in Dangerous Liaisons playing the saintly woman (quite opposite to the femme fatale role she does so well). And she gave her so much dignity, too. Been a big fan for years, and it's a pity how her beauty (as truly remarkable as it is) has always outshined her talent in the eye of the public.

she's the best as susie diamond in the fabulous baker boys

I thought the same exact thing!!!

I am hear for Gillian Anderson. She can play anytime 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I'm glad they're featuring Betty Ford - her legacy on alcoholism and breast cancer has impacted millions of lives.

I'm here for Michelle AND Gillian 🗣️

By the way they left her quote at the end, it looks like she gave it all.

She and Gina Bellman need to be in something together just to showcase their genius.

A big part of it is the prosthetic teeth - they change the shape of her face.

Gillian Anderson is outstanding in everything she does

She rocked playing Margaret Thatcher too. The woman is incredible

Gillian Anderson is queen of the facial expressions. Hats off to her! ❤

She is truly one of the great class actresses of our day. She's in the same league with Katherine Hepburn or Joan Crawford. Just gets better as she gets older.

Margaret Thatcher can't be put on equal footing with the rest ! The witch Thatcher a POS.

Same, same and same!!!

You should have seen her as Blanche DuBois in 2020's "National Theatre at Home" film of Streetcare Named Desire ......powerful, goosebumps, AMAZING!

Same!

I just adore Gillian..

Generations, not "genres." But, yes.

I've studied First Ladies since I was a kid and give talks in my community on them. Betty Ford is my favorite. I've read all three of her memoirs and have read the first one four or five times. Years ago, either VH1 or MTV had a program on the most influential women of the 20th Century and she was in the top 5. If I'm not mistaken, she was either Number 1 or 2. She saved many lives when she came forward to discuss her bout with breast cancer, when people spoke in whispers about such things, as well as her addictions. She was a very reluctant First Lady, however, her legacy is vast. The Betty Ford Center is what I think that she would want to be remembered for the most.

i would love to see Mamie

100% agreed

Just wait and see. The voice the make up she kills it

Nobody could do Michelle Obama like Viola Davis. Amazing! She had postures correct unreal!!!

Denzel looked nothing like Malcolm x and he slayed that role

@@nicolebrown5987 she even does the voice and pronunciation like M.O. It's inspiring.

RIGHT!! I can’t wait for this, I already know it will be a hit, the casting all but promises it!

Except Michael

It's dope

Michael isn't powerful or a woman.

@@BishopWalters12 good for Michael for not being a powerful women , but we talking about power women …

@@deslyn4life I agree, we saw 2 powerful women in the trailer.

agreed.

I completely agree!! I'd watch Viola Davis read the want ads...My favorite actress of all the actresses in the world!

LOL!! Spot on!! Hummm......

It's so true. She is so mercurial. She's one of those actors that just can look completely different somehow. It's uncanny.

Really? Can she portray McCauley Caulkin in a biopic about his child acting years? Answer the question, simpleton.

Poor little cupcakes.

👌

I also dreamed about 2 of them in the same show. And wish granted :)

Keep your eyes open for a free week trial, then cancel. That's how I have watched several great shows on a budget.

And her alcoholism.

Yes, it's about time Big Mike gets the TV show we've all been waiting to see.

And educational, as I did not know this. Knew of the clinic named for her, though.

Lol Right?!

ok calm down

Pass on Michael.

Yes.

Wait for season 2😉

I want Nancy Reagan lol that woman was psychotic

@@sitcomchristian6886 lol S2🤔?

I never got to see that. I hope it is streaming on one of the services I use!

Agree

I'll share my showtime with you lol

Keep your eyes open for a free week trial, binge it then cancel it.

Damage control for the tyrants

Pretty sure it's possible to get a showtime hulu bundle through spotify.

@@LSSYLondon Thanks, but until they drop Joe Rogan, no Spotify for the moment.

@@outinsider maybe a trial sub?

@@KindCountsDeb3773 good idea!

I don't care about Michael but the other 2 could be interesting.

You are right about Betty Ford. Being so open about her breast cancer in a time when it was not talked about got millions of women to get mammograms. Imagine how many lives she saved! This led to women demanding and marching for more research making breast cancer less of a death sentence today. Then she opened up about her drug addiction and helped remove some of the stigma in getting treatment. She was a brave and amazing woman, right up there with Eleanor Roosevelt's work for human rights, women's rights and labor rights.

@@bmccarthy3333 I Would love it if they do it as an anthology series. Where may be for a second season they pick another three first ladies to chronicle. I would be particularly interested to see their take on Edith Wilson. She took on an increased role in Woodrow Wilson’s White House after her husband’s stroke. Some have even alleged that she was effectively the President of the United States during that time.

@@antmagor I agree, that would be so cool. So many little known stories about these women. Mary Todd Lincoln has been pigeoned- holed as "crazy" by many, but there is so much more to her story as well. I hope they have on board some great historians to advise the writers- David McCullough comes to mind and Doris Kearns Goodwin could add so much. Really nice speaking with you! 💙

Ford was a really good President, I would take him over Biden, Trump, Obama or Bush JR any day.

@@BishopWalters12 If we’re talking presidents of yesteryear I would sooner Eisenhower. My one major criticism of him was an unwillingness to stand up to McCarthy, now I apologize if he did and I’m not aware of it. But when I looked back at Republicans who stood up to McCarthyism the name that comes to mind is not president Eisenhower but Margaret Chase Smith. A project on her life is long overdue, but I digress. I would also take Roosevelt, but I rank Eisenhower above Roosevelt because sadly it appears he did subscribe to eugenics. Which is disappointing to put it mildly.

Damage control for the tyrants

Thank you 😊

I'll skip Michael Obama

Michael Obama is boring; Pfeiffer as Betty Ford is way more interesting.

Betty Ford i

You have NO IDEA!

Ummmm..no

100% agree

Not even a little bit. Trust me when I tell you! She got this
